Take-Two has announced in its financial earnings for the end of Fiscal Year 2023 that Grand Theft Auto 6 will release for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S during the Fall of calendar year 2025. Therefore, the open worlder from Rockstar Games could release anywhere between September and November of next year.
After suggesting an estimated Net Bookings of $5.55 billion to $5.65 billion, Chairman and CEO of Take-Two, Strauss Zelnick, said: "Our outlook reflects a narrowing of Rockstar Games' previously established window of Calendar 2025 to Fall of Calendar 2025 for Grand Theft Auto VI. We are highly confident that Rockstar Games will deliver an unparalleled entertainment experience, and our expectations for the commercial impact of the title continue to increase."
There were rumours a few months ago of development issues potentially pushing the game back to 2026, but they don't appear to have manifested — at least publicly. This means GTA 6 is roughly 18 months away from its PS5, Xbox Series X|S launch, so you can entertain yourself in the meantime with our Everything We Know So Far guide. We still only have the single trailer uploaded last December to go on, and given Rockstar Games traditionally skips the E3 summer season of gaming announcements, it's anybody's guess when we'll see GTA 6 next.
Were you hoping GTA 6 would arrive earlier in 2025, or is the Fall season about what you were expecting? Let us know in the comments below.

They could drop it at 3am on a random Monday and it'll instantly sell 30 million
This actually just makes me more confident it won't be until 2026. There's always at least one delay with every R* title.
Will have to make sure I have built up a bit of a back catalogue of games to play by then, as im sure few other games will release in this window, and i will need something to play if 6 is similar to previous titles - i much preferred Saint Row...
so 2026 basically. i ain’t even mad anymore, it is what it is 😂 waiting hella long for games now is the norm
Wtf is taking so long. I don't even care for gta but is it just going to be the most absurdly large game that everyone else will go belly up trying to mimic? Gta is almost bad for the industry collectively lol
@Rich33
You came all this way and said all those words just to say you are not going to buy it...
@Nyne11Tyme
I wish there were more open-world games in modern cities.
@Nyne11Tyme it’s taking so long because they know it won’t surpass GTA5 , especially with the original crew and writers gone
Thats fine by me. Gta 5 the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑.im chilling with my backlog of games to play.gta 6 is going to be amazing.word up son
@MikeOrator all the spidermans, divisions, watch dogs, dead islands, dying lights cyberpunk hasn't satiated your appetite...I kid I kid lol. I guess I find modern settings boring to an extent...i did buy gta on my ps3 (crazy even typing that) and had my fun but I just don't get the hype
@nomither6 well if it spans 3 generations it could lol. I mean GTA should be the photo beside the word "milking" in Websters 😅
@Korgon it was already delayed. They said previously 3 months ago and 6 months ago, that they will earn around 7-8 billions from 2024 1st april till 2025 1st April. Now it is 5-6 billions prediction for same period.
One of the few games I’ll play at release.
I can’t wait for the game me and my family are going to have a massive gaming session when this comes out
@Nyne11Tyme
For every City game, there are 10 in the wilderness or some post-apocalyptic hellscape. I do play a lot of Like a Dragon games so maybe I should be satisfied with that...lol...
Always expect official release date to be in the end of the year, but I say they will also officially delay it for 4-5 months after their release date would be announced earlier in 2025 too. Realistically expect it around march 2026.
Really long time to wait, but once it will happen you will be questioning yourself where did the time go.
I say we will get first new screenshots soon enough tho, maybe even before July.
@nomither6 You know it will surpass 5 eventually (that game released , don't underestimate GTA it
I played GTA 5 on the PS3. Haven't played it since and any interest I had for a new one has waned. Will pick it up on sale sometime as long as there is a good single player story.
So we know horizon 3 release window now.
Anybody that says that they are going to sleep on this game and wait for a sale are big harry LIARS. We have 18 months of hype train to go people, everyone will be on this train by the time Rockstar releases this game.
It will probably be difficult to get a PS5 Pro for a while so this gives me more time to get it before GTA6
Welp looks like I’ll have plenty of time to clear out a good chunk of my PS5 backlog. Still a while away, but hopefully when it comes out the game isn’t loaded with bugs for a smooth launch.
@MikeOrator. Pushsquare got a lot of hypocrites people in here.knowing they will get it fast.its funny to me.gta 5 the g.o.a.t. 🐐 👑.word up son
The fact that by the time the game releases it’s gonna be 12 or 13 years since the last one annoys the hell out of me.
Wonder if they will wait with the PS5 Pro until near the release of GTA6 and also some of Sonys top studio developers to assist to get the most out of the PS5 Pro so it makes as much performance difference as possible and give PS5 Pro and great push start. Of course bundles etc as well.
@REALAIS
They never set an actual date though. At least not publicly. R* has delayed after giving a release date for their latest game every time since GTA4 if I remember correctly so I'm still not convinced it's coming next year. I'd love to be wrong though!
@MikeOrator
Yes, and to pass comment that with them giving a launch window so far out that other games will probably plan their launches outside of said window. Oh, and lamenting the fall of Saints Row.
This game is going to wreck the sales charts. Funny thing is Mario Kart 8 will still be in the top 5. But man i wouldn’t release a game anywhere near this title. Pretty sure i am getting it for PS5 Pro, maybe Series X, but likely Pro. Can’t wait, just wish it was Red Dead 3.
So, a lot of publishers gonna avoid Fall 2025 or their games will be crushed by GTA 6.
I might just wait and get the remaster of the remastered version for my PS7
Do you mean autumn? Being raised and educated in England I'm sure that's what you meant.
@MikeOrator Well I only bought the original, VC, and SA. And only finished VC. That said, this does interest me more than the series usually does.
@riceNpea I thought the same. It's like when Sammy says tidbit instead of titbit.
@Matroska shows how susceptible some people are to American culture. Which is a shame because people who now say something as illogical as, 'can I get a..' when they were taught differently at school must be easy to influence.
@riceNpea Sadly it's been going on for ages. There's an old Fry and Laurie sketch about it; filling out a form instead of filling in a form and so on. Sean Lock did a bit about the "can I get a..." thing too. To be fair, I do say "ass" instead of "arse" (hopefully Push Square's inconsistent swearing rules are okay with me saying that).
@Matroska inconsistent indeed. Put a * in place of a letter in a swear word and it's allowed. Spell the word out and the post is deleted. Totally pointless. Our unhindered understanding, despite the asterix, of the word's definition, context is acceptable. It's the visual representation of the word itself is what is deemed offensive, which makes no sense 😂👍
Looking forward to it
Expect a delay to Spring 2026.
Rockstar games rarely release on time.
